upgrading suspension after some power mods
hi all,
looking at BMR (unless others can point me elsewhere) and not quite sure what exactly I would need that isnt overkill. currently the car put down 520rwhp NA. there are 4 levels of suspension that they offer for the kits and I am not sure if level 2 or 3 is all I need. it is my daily and will rarely see the track but will see some aggressive street pulls at times. thank you all |

Solid cradle bushings at a minimum keeps the rear candle from shifting/moving around.

I might as well pile on here. BMR stuff is solid and works well with these cars. Call the man, "Their sh@t works".

You can't go wrong with BMR. We have them and a few other options listed on our site all with great prices and free shipping. Are you looking to launch better or some upgrades for road racing?

I just ordered the BMR TCA026 and BK006. I hope it gets rid of my wheel hop issue on certain surfaces. If this don't work, I'll have to call BMR and see what direction to go from there.

Bingo! Auto Zone loans the pullers out. My big issue now is finding 4 jack stands because I'm doing the G2 kit on my calipers at the same time.
